Lin Yuan continued: "I can also see that Yuan Shikai's troops must have lost the battle, their soldiers are arrogant, and they were defeated in the first battle, this evil breath can't come out, I just hit the muzzle of the gun when I asked!" He just scolded me, it's good that he didn't pull out his gun, let's hurry up. ”

The two then walked towards the barracks, and when they saw the barracks banner from a distance, Lin Yuan waved his hand and said to Shen Wanqing: "Take my sister and wait here, I'll go to see Yuan Shikai, and then let's go directly to the opposite barracks." ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "Why don't you let me go with you?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed at the little girl and said, "There are so many dead people, and there are even more injured, it's too bloody, and the girl is too young, don't let her see it." Shen Wanqing agreed, Lin Yuan urged the horse to go to the barracks, and thought to himself as he walked: "If you know that the Dao has already started a war, you shouldn't bring your sister here!" ”

In a blink of an eye, Lin Yuan had already arrived at the gate of the camp, and it was the officers and soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion who knew Lin Yuan, so he took Lin Yuan to the barracks, Lin Yuan said to find Lord Yuan, and the soldier replied: "Lord Yuan is out of the camp, and he will come back in a while, you can wait in the tent for a while." ”

Lin Yuan walked to the tent, and heard a ghost-crying wolf-like scream from a few tents on the side, although Lin Yuan had been in battle for a long time, hearing these screams, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, Lin Yuan picked the nearest tent, and was just about to go in to see, when he suddenly saw the tent curtain lifted, and a person came out of it, Lin Yuan was very close to the tent at this time, the man came out in a hurry, the two hit each other fiercely, and Lin Yuan stood still when the collision began, so he was knocked out a few steps away at once.

As soon as the man raised his head, Lin Yuan was stunned when he saw him, it turned out that the person was the little soldier Yuan Zhe who saved him, Yuan Zhe saw Lin Yuan and said in surprise: "Lin Shuai, why are you here?" ”

Lin Yuan said, "I'm here to find Lord Yuan. After speaking, he pointed to the tent with his hand and said, "There are all wounded soldiers inside?" ”

Yuan Zhe nodded again and again, and Lin Yuan asked in surprise, "Why did the battle go so badly?" ”

Yuan Zhe said helplessly: "Alas, this is only a small part, and more wounded have not been transported back yet!" Don't say it, I have to transport the wounded, if you want to know more about it......" Yuan Zhe said here and shouted at an old man in the distance: "Brother Qian, this is Lin Shuai, take care of it." ”

When the old man heard this, he walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Shuai, it's polite." ”

Lin Yuan saw that this person was covered in blood, but he didn't look like he was injured, his hair was gray, and he was old, so he guessed that he was a medical officer in the barracks, so he asked, "Are you a medical officer?" ”

The man replied, "My name is Boss Qian, and I have been practicing medicine for generations. At this moment, I only heard a young man shouting at Boss Qian: "Master, Jinchuang powder is gone!" ”

Boss Qian said angrily: "I don't have it either!" The young man stopped talking, and Lin Yuan asked, "Do you have no medicine?" ”

Boss Qian said anxiously: "This battle is too miserable, we brought more than 100 catties of Jinchuang powder, and in less than an hour, it was all used up!" I heard that there are more wounded people who have not come, what can I do......"

Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "What did you say?" Only a hundred catties of Jinchuang powder with a 5,000-strong army? You can't afford to spread a tael by yourself! Why don't you bring more? ”

Boss Qian said helplessly: "We also want to bring more, but this Jinchuang powder is too slow to make, the Jun medicine is Panax notoginseng, the minister medicine is musk, and the adjuvant is Aconitum grass, it is not easy to match these things, and it has to be washed and concocted, this hundred catties of Jinchuang powder is the ...... that our family has saved for generations."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "In this era, there is no large-scale industrial production of traditional Chinese medicine at all, can it not be slow?" At this moment, Lin Yuan only felt that his leg was grabbed, and when he looked down, he saw that he was a soldier covered in blood, and he howled miserably: "Please, give me a shot, it hurts too much, I can't bear it......"

The two medical officers on the side hurriedly pulled him to the side of the straw mat, and Lin Yuan was gloomy for a while, thinking to himself: "Whether they are the troops of the Qing court or the rebels, they are all my compatriots and Chinese!" I can't leave it alone! I should have brought in our medical team and medicines! ”

Lin Yuan came out of the camp tent and thought: "The closest thing to here is the Mongolian garrison, after we conquered Mongolia, we built a railway from Kulun to Taiyuan and Hohhot, and also hoarded war supplies in these two places, let Taiyuan transport people and medicine here as soon as possible, but it will also take a day, whether these wounded can survive depends on themselves." ”

Lin Yuan was thinking about it, when he heard a person calling himself, and when he looked back, he saw an officer walking towards him and said, "Lord Yuan is back, hurry up and go to the tent with me." ”

Lin Yuan agreed, and asked on the way, "Does Jiang Huayong's troops have such strong combat effectiveness?" How did this battle go so badly? ”

The officer said helplessly: "Although their combat effectiveness is not strong, there are many of them!" The charge was overwhelming, a distance of a hundred meters was in the blink of an eye, and the rifle rate of fire of our front-line troops was too slow, and the machine guns were scattered again, so it was a hand-to-hand fight! Those rebels don't know what medicine they have taken, they are not afraid of death in hand-to-hand combat, and in order to kill any of us, we can hit ourselves with bayonets! ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked: "That's not right, Jiang Huayong's troops are only less than seven thousand, plus a part of the scattered, how can there be enough troops to adopt such a fighting method?" ”

The officer smiled disdainfully: "Less than seven thousand? Lin Shuai, when did you get this information? If you go to the top of the mountain in a while, Jiang Huayong's company camp can't see the end at a glance, and I think there are 70,000 people! ”

Lin Yuan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and said, "Why did you increase your strength so much?" ”

The officer said: "Many of them have no uniforms, and I think they are the rebellious peasants. While speaking, the two came to the outside of the tent, only to hear Yuan Shikai roaring inside: "We have suffered some losses in this battle, this is not that our combat effectiveness is inferior to others, but that we are not intelligent and fully prepared, I have decided, the next battle, gather our machine guns, and kill those rebels!" ”

Lin Yuan heard this and said loudly, "No need, right? Lord Yuan! After that, he picked up the curtain and walked into the tent, Yuan Shikai asked malicely: "Lin Yuan, what do you mean by saying that you don't need it?" Are you going to interfere with my command? Don't forget what you said before the Holy One! ”

Lin Yuan said proudly: "The reason why I tell you that you don't need it is very simple, that is: I am sure to surrender Jiang Huayong on the other side!" ”

Yuan Shikai sneered: "Surrender? Jiang Huayong's kind of rebellion can surrender? Joke! ”

Lin Yuan said: "Lord Yuan, if you insist on fighting, it will not be good for your troops, I just saw it, your troops have suffered heavy casualties......"

Yuan Shikai slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "How many casualties there are is is not something I have to care about!" All I care about is whether the rebellion can be destroyed! ”

Lin Yuan said: "Lord Yuan, I just heard your words, I can tell you clearly, your concentration of machine guns may not work!" ”

Yuan Shikai asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "The rebels are not stupid, will they hit the bullet in a daze?" We are all commanders, I believe you also know that the machine gun can be fired sideways to exert the maximum power, so the rebels will definitely try their best to attack the weak side of the machine gun, and you don't have a lot of machine guns, I think the next battle will still be hand-to-hand combat! ”
